http://www.msem.csulb.edu/index.html Here is a new program offered jointly by CSU Dominguez Hills and CSU Long Beach.
And your point is? I can't find it on a simple search so it has been reintroduced. We got the fall catalog in the mail recently and it appeared to be talking this up as a new program.
Another excellent university for Engineering Managment is the University of Colorado - Boulder. This program is available by distance learning and they have an informal track in software development management. Right now I believe this is the degree I will pursue after I complete my MSCS degree.
Are any of our members here graduates (or presently attending) any of the programs mentioned above? Would love to hear about your experiences at your respective programs. Thanks.
Thanks for the link, JoAnn. That´s indeed a very prestigious university and a great engineering department (I used to live in Colorado for a while and they enjoy EXCELLENT reputation). BTW, IMHO I find that joint program between CSU Dominguez Hills and CSU Long Beach very interesting. They use busines courses from the department at DH (we have here plenty of happy customers here from their MBA program), and engineering from LB. And it is not that expensive.
If you are talking about U. of Colorado then the following is from their admissions criteria: An undergraduate degree with a GPA of 3.0 from an accredited engineering program. If GPA is below 3.0, GRE scores must be provided for provisional admission. Degrees in physics, applied mathematics, and computer science are also acceptable.
Actually, I think that both of you are right. CSULB and CSUDH announced this new joint pogram a couple of years ago. But then its rollout experienced long delays. (I expect that the reason for that was the state's recent budget problems, resulting in a freeze on new state university programs.)
Another good DL Engineering Management program is offered by the University of South Florida. If you are a Florida resident, then the tuition savings over CSUDH would be significant.
I was surprised that this program requires prerequisite/bridge courses from engineers. All other EM programs I've looked at were designed so a BS in engineering was enough -- no other prerequisites required.
A friend of mine completed the Eastern Michigan University E.M. program a few years back. "Classes are offered in full semester and accelerated half-semester formats, and in the live face-to-face format at EMU's main and regional campuses. Also, to meet the needs of the busy professional, the program is available entirely online through EMUOnline, at http://emuonline.edu. Our online classes offer both convenience and high quality." emuonline.edu

Hi, I have also been looking at that program. There has been here good comments about this university, but no one gave a review of this specific program. It would be great to hear from former or current students. Regards
Wish I could convince my friend to visit degreeinfo.com and post a response, but I do not think that is going to happen. However, he did receive his undergraduate degree from EMU, and is presently employed by Mercedes (Vance, Alabama) as a Quality Engineer. I have never met anyone as enthusiastic about thesis process than him! Has a really high opinion of EMU and the program.
Yeah, I too heard good coments about the University. It makes you pay in state tuition to both in state and out of state students. So that´good. But what about the program itself? Is anyone studying it? I like it, but it has a very large number of required courses (they all carry only two credits), and that would mean a lot of examinations. That´s terrible for someone who, such as myself, lives in a country where people don´t understand the concept of proctoring and it is basically impossible to find a suitable supervisor. Unless they don´t have proctored examinations........ That´s why it woul be great to meet a former or current student.
Another prestigious engineering program that offers a MS degree in Engineering Management that I haven't seen mentioned is the University of Southern California. At almost $1100 / semester hour it is also a very expensive option! However, it is really flexible and gives you many options for specializing the cirriculum beyond core classes. Depending on where my finances are I may consider this program in addition to the program at the University of Colorado - Boulder mentioned earlier.
